Dear God,We come to You with broken hearts,surrendering the catastrophe that has occurred in Connecticut.We cannot comprehend the darkness that led to this,or the suffering of those who have loved and lost.They are both too big.But in You, dear God, there are Answers we cannot surmise and Light we cannot summon by ourselves.
For those who bear tonight the unbearable burdenof unimaginable grief,who in their agony yell at the forces of fate...For those who moan and those who faint, for those who rage and those who pray,we moan and pray along with them.For tonight, those were our children too.

May a legion of angels come upon the parentsand bring to them an otherworldly touch,an otherworldly comfortand otherworldly sense that their children are well,that they are safe with God,and shall be with them always.Give to those who grieve what no mortal force can give...the touch of Your Hand upon their heart.May all who are touched by this darknessbe lit by Your grace.Please wipe away all tears, dear God.as only You can do.We present to you our brokenness, and the horror and pain of those who grieve.May those who died find joy in the immortal realms.May those who mourn them be comforted in this hour of their agony.And may our prayers and actions be guided by You, dear God,to create a world where this occurs no more.Amen
